The Arakan Human Rights and Development Organisation (AHRDO) is a non-profit, independent organisation formed on October 9, 2011. AHRDO is open for membership to all Arakanese people, regardless of their sex, colour, religion, or political affiliation, and works for the common good of the entire Arakanese population.

AHRDO conducted a worker affairs workshop over two days from 16th-17th October 2012 in their Mae Sot office, on the Thai-Burma border. The workshop was focused on Burmese migrant rights, Burmese migrant workers’ passports, and Thai’s laws for Burmese migrants.
